I have a Kobalt that I got for $288 from Lowes. I definitely do NOT recommend it. I ended up rebuilding the locking mechanism myself after exchanging the box 3 times because it wouldn't stay shut. I have heard great things about Husky and UWS though, through friends who have them and their prices are relatively similar. Here's a few pics of mine. You'll see I've made a few other upgrades to my box besides just the locking mechanism.

Have always had uws and never have had a problem with them. The black low profile I had ran me about $325 or so. Got a cam locker now and let me tell yeah, they're the best out there!! They're a little pricey but like always.... You get what you pay for.

Has your truck been painted? I have noticed on my F150, and by the looks of your picture and it looks like the gold on the front drivers door seems to be a different shade than the gold than the rest of the truck.

Sorry for the poor lighting but I just ran out to the driveway and took these with my phone a few mins ago.
It's a UWS slimbox or something like that. I originally had a full size UWS low profile, but it took too much bed length and was barely holding anything. After seeing a friend of mine get one of these I decided to get one too. It is the perfect size, it holds the stuff I need it to hold, and I can put my quad or my ninja in the bed with no issues now.

I bought a black husky one from Home Depot and the black has held up better than the UWS I used have and I like the handles better as well!

Not sure how good you can see it but I will take a better one when I get home!

stay away from the kobalt tool box, it is known for a cheap lock mechanism. I have had someone try and break into mine with no success. they managed to get one side of the lock off but couldnt get the other side.
